| \begin{abstract} |
| |
| \noindent |
| Python is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented programming |
| language. It supports a wide range of applications, from simple text |
| processing scripts to interactive WWW browsers. |
| |
| While the \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual} |
| describes the exact syntax and semantics of the language, it does not |
| describe the standard library that is distributed with the language, |
| and which greatly enhances its immediate usability. This library |
| contains built-in modules (written in C) that provide access to system |
| functionality such as file I/O that would otherwise be inaccessible to |
| Python programmers, as well as modules written in Python that provide |
| standardized solutions for many problems that occur in everyday |
| programming. Some of these modules are explicitly designed to |
| encourage and enhance the portability of Python programs. |
| |
| This library reference manual documents Python's standard library, as |
| well as many optional library modules (which may or may not be |
| available, depending on whether the underlying platform supports them |
| and on the configuration choices made at compile time). It also |
| documents the standard types of the language and its built-in |
| functions and exceptions, many of which are not or incompletely |
| documented in the Reference Manual. |
| |
| This manual assumes basic knowledge about the Python language. For an |
| informal introduction to Python, see the |
| \citetitle[../tut/tut.html]{Python Tutorial}; the |
| \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual} remains the |
| highest authority on syntactic and semantic questions. Finally, the |
| manual entitled \citetitle[../ext/ext.html]{Extending and Embedding |
| the Python Interpreter} describes how to add new extensions to Python |
| and how to embed it in other applications. |
